Clipped Wings

Description

Patrick Davenport had given as much thought to his death as he had to the way he lived; very little. When he startled a cat burglar and earned himself a bullet to the heart, it should have come as a shock to everyone that he found himself in front of the pearly gates. It’s only once he’d settled into his life in Heaven with his beautiful heavenly soulmate, Aia, that he learned that it was a mistake after all.

When St. Peter comes back to inform him that his death was the result of a time hiccup, Patrick finds himself torn between where he belongs; the life on Earth he could never let go of or the one in Heaven that somehow makes him feel more alive. Two women he loves, two worlds he suddenly can’t live without. He’s given one perfect day with each to decide whether he will resume his life or embrace his death.

Patrick embarks on a tumultuous and emotional journey which has him questioning everything he’s ever known, as he prepares to make a choice that will determine his existence forever.
